Newly discovered diary records landmark sighting of Australia in 1687 - The Age
"I was one of the first [to see it] … as we walked on the poop. At first sight, we thought that it was some ships but as we sailed on … in a short time we saw … there’s land."

"Museums stocked with 'platysausages' as taxidermists get it wrong on Australian animals." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-05/poor-taxidermy-making-fattypuses-out-of-australian-animals/101827332
"We often find flatypuses that are pancake flat. We find fattypuses that are overstuffed, or sometimes the platysausage, which is long and thin and sausage-shaped."
Great article By Zoe Kean , ABC Radio Hobart, with food for thought for museums.
We talked about the confusion experienced by Europeans seeing our Platypus for the first time in Episode 19: The Platypus Controversy.
Very amusing. . Link to listen below if you’re interested.
